Two motorists were arrested on Tuesday after passing school buses as they were picking up and discharging children, Athens-Clarke County police said.

Will Earnest Hunter, 34, of Sunny Hills Drive, was stopped at about 7:25 a.m. after he drove past a school bus that was picking up children on West Broad Street at Honeysuckle Lane, police said.

He was cited for the infraction and arrested because he had no license, according to police.

At about 4:15 p.m., Edith Zarco-Vilchez was stopped and cited after she drove past a bus dropping off students on Commerce Road at Pine Bluff Road. The 27-year-old Athens woman also was arrested for not having a driver’s license, police said.
